[Captivate Themes and Apps] ninjuh:
Lol yeah I'm confused too ^^

Where are lock screens located? And does the sticky how to theme have up to date info on making it work for serendipity? I wanna try making that modded epic lock in red for this.

Serendipity 6.2

Suckerpunch oc/uv 1200

They are located in the framework-res.apk

I dont know where that thread is so idk if it is up to date.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Rodman101:
Ok what I'm referring to is the green messaging icon on the lock screen that was posted earlier is there a way top revert to that?

I'm feeling serendipitous...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
revert to what? thats how it looks now >.< :confused:

ChanceM
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Rodman101:
Didn't you change it earlier with the red launcher?

I'm feeling serendipitous...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
The launcher has nothing to do with the lockscreen. the launcher was for the request for red wallpapers.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] iXNyNe:
maybe this is a launcher pro issue but when using redrom theme my phone and browser icons show up blue rather than red

any ideas on this?

*edit*

after taking the time to switch back and forth from the included launcher and launcher pro i am noticing these icons are red on the regular launcher (lovely) but not in the app drawer

launcher pro uses the default icon (if told) from the app when displaying items in the dock

so could the default icons for these two apps be made red for this theme?

also, maybe redrom should theme the boot/shutdown and checkboxes? some of us arent really into green ;)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ppalbicke:
You would have to chang the png file yourself if you are using launcher pro.

For boot animation, go back three or four pages and the are two posted in the thread you can check out. There is a bunch of other downloads and images you could grab to help customize if you comb through the thread.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] H3llstorm:
Will this boot animation be added by default in the future?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
Yeah eventually when I get around to adding it to the dl.

ChanceM
[Captivate Themes and Apps] iXNyNe:
i know that's doable and i actually just found the apk edit program that was featured on the portal, but still i would have thought that since the messaging and market icons were themed red that so might be some of the other icons (like phone, browser, calendar, contacts, my files, maybe even the settings and music icons too)

im sure with enough time i could figure out how to get all of these done myself (hopefully without screwing anything up cuz i have no idea what im doing really) i was just asking if they could be themed by default with this package since it seems the messaging and market apps already get themed icons by applying it
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ppalbicke:
Are the icons a different color in the app drawer when using the regular launcher too or when you use launcher pro?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ppalbicke:
I ask because when I applied a themselves from adw it changed my icons in the app drawer from the original theme. Wondered if it did that to you. I had to reapply the theme to get it back
[Captivate Themes and Apps] iXNyNe:
yes, even with the default launcher the app icons in the drawer do end up being blue instead of red

it seems the redrom mod only changed the icons for the default launcher's dock, which is why i was asking if the apps icons could be changed as well since i noticed the market and sms/mms apps were actaully changed to red app icons with the theme
[Captivate Themes and Apps] H3llstorm:
That's why I use ADW Launcher EX with y0rk's Red ADW Theme. :cool:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
Okay if you DL the REDROM package from the site you should be able to apply the whole theme and in a few minutes you should be able to make new battery mods.

Most of the changes to the framework that are in 6.3 where already in REDROM.

ChanceM
[Captivate Themes and Apps] goodolsen:
Chance, would it be possible to get a Redrom themed Settings and extended power menu or as an add-on? Would really round out the overall awesomeness of Redrom imho.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fluidd:
Flashed this and is awesome. Doesn't seem to work though with 6.3?? maybe its just me
[Captivate Themes and Apps] goodolsen:
What isn't working for you? I'm running it with 6.3 with no problems.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fluidd:
Update: What I meant to say is that the 'Themed Samsung MMS' (Red Messaging Theme) isn't working for me.

I get the following message when I try to flash via CWM:

Installing udpate...

assert failed: getprop ("framework.res.apk") =="

2"

E:Error in /mnt/sdcard/Samsung_Mms_Red.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted"

This what I did before flashing, in exact order.

Cleared all my Caches, Flashed 6.3 Full ROM, then booted up. Then flashed Red Theme, then booted up. Then tried flashing the Samsung MMS Red Theme and I got that message above..

Anyone else have this problem? :S
[Captivate Themes and Apps] AReynante:
If its the first red samsung mms that he released, it probably hasn't been updated.

Does colored settings work for 6.3?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] goodolsen:
Yes I have the colored settings menu with 6.3. Kind of hoping Chance might feel nice and put together a settings/extended power menu Redrom version. :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
Updated.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] fluidd:
Thanks Chance!!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:

I'm new to xda - can someone point to towards how to apply the red theme. I have the standard Serendipity rom installed, do I just re-flash the red zip? Thanks!

Any chance someone can pull the 'Red Gingerbread Icons' and upload it here for me?

The Red Phone Icon (Stock Gingerbread) and the Red Internet Icon (Globe, Stock Gingerbread).

Reason why I ask is because I don't use the stock launcher, but I use Launcher Pro.. I have the Green Stock Gingerbread Icons currently, and its kinda killing the look for me, seems like 'Christmas' lol.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Something like that, but in the same Hex Color Red as the one in the theme, if not the exact icon from the theme. I just dont know how to pull it.

Here you go

here are the extracted ones.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] jake.corey.jacobs:
Any chance the Power Control Widget color is themeable? Would make this theme 100% imo. Has anyone ever attempted to do it?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] goodolsen:
Nice update, only one problem. If you aren't using the default battery icon it gets changed to the default.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ChanceM:
Yes that's what the kitchen is for, all updates made and posted here are also the applied to the kitchen. Go forth and build away!

ChanceM
[Captivate Themes and Apps] goodolsen:
Already had the battery mod (by itself) built in the kitchen on my phone. Was just a matter of flashing it after your latest changes. Now all is back to normal.

BTW, great work on this theme Chance. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

I love that alt dialer for redrom, and was that a White-dipity I see?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] LionSteel1:
Quick question:

Can I flash from 5.12 to 6.3 directly? Or do I have to flash to 6.0 to 6.1 to 6.2 to 6.3? As it says from the (official) website.

serendipityrom. weebly. com /updates. html

(without the spaces in the link)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
First off wrong thread, this belongs in the Serendipity Q&A thread.

To answer your question, you can flash straight over, but you will lose all your data and apps that don't come with the ROM. I recommend backing everything up with Titanium Backup and then flashing to 6.3 and restoring your apps back (don't restore system data). Also you will need to download the entire ROM, here, not just the update. Finally here's a visual representation:

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Hero24:
noob here

I just flash my captivate to serendipity to 6.2, how do i install the redroom or anyothere theme for it?

I am using the AIO captivate toolbox tool. Does that allow me to install the theme? If so, how?

Thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] iXNyNe:
honestly i think things are nice the way they are right now - the only thing i could ask for is a numerical battery indicator by default (same image, but with numbers on it)

the status bar icons look very nice being red - if you're going with white i'd hope it'd be for a new theme (B/W-dipity or something)

and as much as im a fan of black and red i really dont think blacking out the dialer looks nice - it does bring a little more simplicity, but it also kinda makes the items on the screen run together and not feel separated

i could easily understand darkening the grey thats currently there, but keep it grey in some way (so that it's not such an eye sore with the contrasting black to white)

also keep in mind the AMOLED screen makes whites REALLY bright, and blacks pretty dark, so seeing white on black is usually a little bit intense on the eyes, throwing some grey in there tricks the eyes and the brain into not feeling so antagonized by the contrasting colors (designer's opinion ;D)

in any case, i LOVE that last update for the checkboxes, i'd been waiting on that

im still hoping for themed phone dialer and internet browser icons in the app drawer - im noticing those icons show up in quite a few places (like sliding to the side in contacts to call someone) and it'd be sweet to have them red (i know the included launcher has them red, im talking about the app icons from the drawer - like how the mms icon got recolored)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] H3llstorm:
Ironically, that's my least favorite change. The green checkmarks were a lot easier to see than the red ones are.

Other than that, I love this theme! :D

Android Market updated to green & white again.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tietherope:
I imagine there would be some image retention or burn in?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tietherope:
Was there ever the same Swype keyboard from Serendipity themed to red without blacking out all the individual keys? Unfortunately I'm not a huge fan of having the keyboard all black.

If not I will just install the green keyboard from Serendipity.

Thanks!

Try using the swype.apk from the Dark Fire theme. It is much more red than black.

I was wondering why i cannot use my aux cable in my car to hear my phone calls on this rom?

Quick question...

My market switched from the red theme to the stock theme, and I'm not sure how to fix it. I've flashed the revert and re-flashed redrom, which doesn't seem to help.

EDIT: Fixed, just had to uninstall the update.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] eyebanez333:
How did you get the market to be the red theme again? I went from the serendipity 6.4 to the redrom...the market was green in the 6.4, then changed when I flashed the redrom. :confused:

Doesn't really have much to do with REDROM per se, but maybe somebody in here can help me.

I'm looking for something similar to the feeds and updates widget that came on the stock captivate. It was really nice to have that widget on the screen beside my home screen, then slide over and see all that info.

Basically a widget that works with REDROM and has facebook, myspace, twitter updates...:confused:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Okay-66:
The "RedROM" theme has a problem.

Once you flash the theme, it come out nice and pretty. However, once you enter the android market once or twice, the android "Market" icon loses its red color. that is not all. Once you access the andoid market after the icon loses its red theme, you will notice that the "black theme" within the market place disappears and resorts to the traditional white background. I have flashed many times and same issue arises.

Note: Doesn't happen with the "blue theme".
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
The Market has been updated since ChanceM themed it. You can freeze "Market Updater" with Titanium Backup and then you will still have the red market.

Or, you could download a different market from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=957331

I've created some battery mods for ChanceM's Red Theme, and here they are. I've put together a Red Circle Battery and a Red Gingerbread Battery with Percents. Both were created using images from the UOT kitchen. All I did was copy them over to the existing framework. All credit goes to ChanceM for creating the theme, and MikeyMike01 for creating the rom.

Both batteries feature white numbers until they hit 5%, then the numbers turn red. The fill parts of the batteries are red all the way down to zero (no changing colors when certain battery levels are reached).

Both are CWM flashable.

Edit: I have updated both battery mods to be compatible with ChanceM's recent changes to the android and rotary lockscreen. If you have flashed the new framework, you will want to redownload and reflash.

Edit 2: Redid some icons for battery mod a. I forgot to change the lockscreen icon when charging while using the Android or Rotary lockscreen. It was green, but it is now red to match the actual battery.

Edit 3: I have decided to remove my battery mods. Chance updates this theme too often:), and I've been running CM7 lately.

So I just found out the wonders (and now flaws) of variable LCD densities. I now cannot go back to 240 default, feels like I'm switching back to a 640 × 480 monitor from an HD monitor. Anyways, the dialer looks horrible and tiny,

Is there any way for me to convert the dialer to a variable density friendly version?

Hey ChanceM, didn't mean to step on your toes creating the red Swype theme and I'm sure you've already themed it for us, but I couldn't wait. Unfortunately, the red in my theme is a bit off from Redrom because I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to incorporate your red color code into Gimp.
